Chicago PD has a new streaming home in the UK (but there's a small catch)

UK viewers can watch Chicago PD on Prime Video, but not all the episodes are available yet.

Chicago PD streams on Peacock in the United States, but that’s not a streamer available around the world. As with many shows, there are different licensing agreements around the world, and it’s not surprising to hear that Chicago PD streams on a very different service in the UK.

The One Chicago franchise has been added to Prime Video, which you can access with an Amazon Prime membership. However, not all episodes of Chicago PD have been added to the streaming platform included in the membership. Yes, this is going to be annoying for fans, and it’s easy to blame Amazon for looking to get more money. The truth is that it comes down to licensing and agreements from the parent studio, Universal TV.

Only 10 seasons of Chicago PD are available on Prime Video in the UK

Right now, UK viewers can watch the first 10 seasons of Chicago PD on the streaming platform. These episodes are included as part of you Prime membership, so there are plenty of episodes to get through before you have to start worrying about the rest of the series.

Chicago PD season 11 is available to purchase, and you can do this through the Amazon platform. It’s likely that the season will eventually be available on Prime Video, so if you’re still working through the 10 seasons, you’ll want to hold off buying for now.

Likewise, Chicago Med and Chicago Fire are available, but not the most recent couple of seasons. Some seasons are available to purchase, though. Limiting the episodes available for free with the streaming platform won’t be Amazon’s doing, but will be a decision made by Universal TV for that company to gain more money.

Chicago PD season 12 isn’t available in the UK just yet

There is some disappointing news for those looking to catch up on the most recent season of Chicago PD. The 12th season isn’t yet available to even purchase on Amazon. This is likely because Chicago PD season 12 is currently airing on a UK network, as the show premiered on Sky Witness on May 2, 2025.

It’s likely that the full season will be made available to purchase once the entire season has aired. Not all countries work in the way the U.S. does by making episodes available to purchase the following day. Again, this will come down to a Universal TV decision.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Chicago PD season 11 ended up on Prime Video with the subscription once season 12 is available to purchase.

Chicago PD seasons 1 to 10 are available to stream on Prime Video in the UK. You can stream all 12 seasons on Peacock in the United States.
